hillary’s life depends on a Trump win
Reminds me of being a kid in the old Jim Crow South... it's how people use to talk about blacks. Joe hasn't fallen far from the racist tree... he's just chosen a new victim for the old style contempt reserved for 'subhumans'. I find him disgusting.
His crew's disgusting too... it's goons ganging up and kicking a person who's fallen. Really... totally... disgusting.
Yep. LBJ had a approval rating in the 60 to 70 percent range by spring of 64. He had wrapped a dead president agenda around him and JFK image started to become stuff of legend with the whole ‘Camelot’ essay. Nobody was going to beat LBJ in 64 who was president less than a year after the shocking assassination heading toward the election
And Mika's boy will continue do everything he can to make his prediction a reality.
msnbc seems to be the definition of reservation etc. etc.
They must of sent the cast to reeducation camp.
The sad part is msnbc is popular in DC.
To me, Joe Scarborough has the accumulative insight and steep political acumen whose status is on par with, and holds the the esteem of, a junior college fraternity president.
Oh, and Mika? Tell us again for the millionth time who your daddy is as you check your hair in the floor studio monitor. Gag.
It's the same on CBS This Morning, Good Morning America, and Today. The media has stopped whatever they do and have turned themselves into pro Obama/Hillary propaganda shows.
Scarborough had been bloviating about loving muslims and Hispanics for weeks. As soon as Trump attacked that judge, Deliverance Boy (as Imus used to call him) had to prove his liberal bona fides by condemning Trump every single day for bigotry, prejudice, Hispanic-hatred, Islamic-hatred, women-hatred, etc.
He’s a demagogue. Even when I agreed with him, I thought he was a demagogue. Unpleasant. Imus said that when he very briefly worked at WABC-Radio, he was notorious for HR complaints against him by employees.
Cool picture.

How Carter Beat Reagan
Washington Post admits polling was “in-kind contribution”; New York Times agenda polling.
By Jeffrey Lord – 9.25.12
Dick Morris is right.
Here’s something Dick Morris doesn’t mention. And he’s charitable.
Remember when Jimmy Carter beat Ronald Reagan in 1980?
That’s right. Jimmy Carter beat Ronald Reagan in 1980.
In a series of nine stories in 1980 on “Crucial States” — battleground states as they are known today — the New York Times repeatedly told readers then-President Carter was in a close and decidedly winnable race with the former California governor. And used polling data from the New York Times/CBS polls to back up its stories.
Four years later, it was the Washington Post that played the polling game — and when called out by Reagan campaign manager Ed Rollins a famous Post executive called his paper’s polling an “in-kind contribution to the Mondale campaign.” Mondale, of course, being then-President Reagan’s 1984 opponent and Carter’s vice president.
All of which will doubtless serve as a reminder of just how blatantly polling data is manipulated by liberal media — used essentially as a political weapon to support the liberal of the moment, whether Jimmy Carter in 1980, Walter Mondale in 1984 — or Barack Obama in 2012.
First the Times in 1980 and how it played the polling game.
The states involved, and the datelines for the stories:
· California — October 6, 1980
· Texas — October 8, 1980
· Pennsylvania — October 10, 1980
· Illinois — October 13, 1980
· Ohio — October 15, 1980
· New Jersey — October 16, 1980
· Florida — October 19, 1980
· New York — October 21, 1980
· Michigan — October 23, 1980
Of these nine only one was depicted as “likely” for Reagan: Reagan’s own California. A second — New Jersey — was presented as a state that “appears to support” Reagan.
The Times led their readers to believe that each of the remaining seven states were “close” — or the Times had Carter leading outright.
In every single case the Times was proven grossly wrong on election day. Reagan in fact carried every one of the nine states.
Here is how the Times played the game with the seven of the nine states in question.
• Texas: In a story datelined October 8 from Houston, the Times headlined:
Texas Looming as a Close Battle Between President and Reagan
The Reagan-Carter race in Texas, the paper claimed, had “suddenly tightened and now shapes up as a close, bruising battle to the finish.” The paper said “a New York Times/CBS News Poll, the second of seven in crucial big states, showing the Reagan-Carter race now a virtual dead heat despite a string of earlier polls on both sides that had shown the state leaning toward Mr. Reagan.”
The narrative? It was like the famous scene in the Wizard of Oz where Dorothy and her friends stare in astonishment as dog Toto pulls back the curtain in the wizard’s lair to reveal merely a man bellowing through a microphone. Causing the startled “wizard” caught in the act to frantically start yelling, “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!” In the case of the Times in its look at Texas in October of 1980 the paper dismissed “a string of earlier polls on both sides” that repeatedly showed Texas going for Reagan. Instead, the Times presented this data:
A survey of 1,050 registered voters, weighted to form a probable electorate, gave Mr. Carter 40 percent support, Mr. Reagan 39 percent, John. B. Anderson, the independent candidate, 3 percent, and 18 percent were undecided. The survey, conducted by telephone from Oct. 1 to Oct. 6, has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
In other words, the race in Texas is close, assures the Times, with Carter actually in the lead.
What happened? Reagan beat Carter by over 13 points. It wasn’t even close to close.

FReepers need to learn to ignore polls.
Most of us hang up on pollsters but, if you ever do participate in a poll and listen to the questioning you can almost always recognize the narrative they are trying to produce and then you hang up.
He’s gone full Baghdad Bob.
Well since your wing of the party caused Trump by your duplicity, treachery and fecklessness if that happens I will blame you! dumb butt!!
Scarborough is sucking up for the potential role as The Beast’s Presidential press secretary.
Morning news appeals to the 6% of democrats who are liberal elite and the 1% of Republicans who are #NEVERTRUMP... Also some bored folks getting ready for work who enjoy watching excited people talk over each other. Dreadful stuff.
Scarborough looks like an extremely successful
person

That is a bizarre story and ther was never a good explanation.
In most situations like this, someone would be in prison.
I watch because I love to laugh at the scowl on NorDUH O’Donnell’s face whenever there is a conservative view.
Also, Gayle, Oprahs’ friend now adds editorial liberal comment after every story for “color”. It;’s no longer news, It’s an Obama/Hillary campaign support show.
That was when he didn’t HAVE to hope and pray that HELLARY would win!!!!
Not to mention nobody is going to pull the Daisy Ad on Trump and get away with it.
